Kay Jewelers opens in new Lakeshore Mall location

GAINESVILLE – The revitalization project at Lakeshore Mall in Gainesville continued today when Kay Jewelers opened in its new location. Shoe Show opened its new Shoe Dept. Encore store there last week.

The mall is in the process of a major revitalization project. Demolition is already underway on the portion of the mall between Sears and JC Penney, where Dick’s Sporting Goods will open a 50,475-square foot store later this year.

Several stores including GNC, LensCrafters, Body Central and Great American Cookies relocated last year to allow for the expansion of the sporting goods store.

Great American Cookies will celebrate its grand re-opening with the Lakeshore Kids Club on Wednesday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. The event is open to the public and will include free cookie cake slices, cookie decorating for the children and other activities.

Following the event, a Facebook contest will take place on the mall’s web page. The customer photo with the Great American Cookies mascot that receives the most votes will receive a $25 Lakeshore Mall Gift Card.
